When first coming in to your sexuality, you may not know if you are a hetero or a homosexual. There's no clear-cut definition of what determines if you're gay or straight. You have to search deep within yourself and consider what arouses you. Either way, you are a person that deserves respect with the right to be happy. Follow these steps to know if you are a hetero.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1
Learn what it means to be "straight." To some people, being straight is having a sexual relationship with the opposite sex or fantasizing about it. Others may believe that you are born straight or gay.
Step2
Consider your fantasies. If you fantasize about members of the opposite sex you may be a hetero. It isn't proof that you're straight, but it is a possible sign.
Step3
Have sexual relations with a member of the opposite sex. See if you're comfortable with it and if you enjoy the experience. This doesn't necessarily mean you are a hetero, but it's a good possibility.
Step4
Imagine having sexual relations with a person of the opposite sex and the same sex. Consider what turns you on or what you find attractive. It may be that both sexes turn you on.

Tips & Warnings

  • You may not be a hetero or a homosexual. You may prefer both sexes, which means you are bisexual.
  • It is perfectly normal to be confused about your sexuality. It takes time and experience to know if you are a homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual.
